o Deadlock case #2
Thread 1:
- __writeback_single_inode

- do_writepages
- f2fs_write_data_page
- f2fs_balance_fs
- f2fs_gc
- iput
- evict
- inode_wait_for_writeback(I_SYNC)
In order to avoid this, even though iput is called with the zero-reference
count, we need to stop the eviction procedure if the inode is on writeback.
So this patch links f2fs_drop_inode which checks the I_SYNC flag.

We call lock_page when we need to update a page after readpage.
Between grab and lock page, the page can be truncated by other thread.
So, we should check the page after lock_page whether it was truncated or not.

Previously, background GC submits many 4KB read requests to load victim blocks
and/or its (i)node blocks.

However, by the fact that many IOs are sequential, we can give a chance to merge
the IOs by IO scheduler.
In order to do that, let's use blk_plug.

In the previous version, f2fs uses global locks according to the usage types,
such as directory operations, block allocation, block write, and so on.
Reference the following lock types in f2fs.h.
enum lock_type {
RENAME, /* for renaming operations */
DENTRY_OPS, /* for directory operations */
DATA_WRITE, /* for data write */
DATA_NEW, /* for data allocation */
DATA_TRUNC, /* for data truncate */
NODE_NEW, /* for node allocation */
NODE_TRUNC, /* for node truncate */
NODE_WRITE, /* for node write */
NR_LOCK_TYPE,
};
In that case, we lose the performance under the multi-threading environment,
since every types of operations must be conducted one at a time.
In order to address the problem, let's share the locks globally with a mutex
array regardless of any types.
So, let users grab a mutex and perform their jobs in parallel as much as
possbile.
For this, I propose a new global lock scheme as follows.
0. Data structure
- f2fs_sb_info -> mutex_lock[NR_GLOBAL_LOCKS]
- f2fs_sb_info -> node_write
1. mutex_lock_op(sbi)
- try to get an avaiable lock from the array.
- returns the index of the gottern lock variable.
2. mutex_unlock_op(sbi, index of the lock)
- unlock the given index of the lock.
3. mutex_lock_all(sbi)
- grab all the locks in the array before the checkpoint.
4. mutex_unlock_all(sbi)
- release all the locks in the array after checkpoint.
5. block_operations()
- call mutex_lock_all()
- sync_dirty_dir_inodes()
- grab node_write
- sync_node_pages()
Note that,
the pairs of mutex_lock_op()/mutex_unlock_op() and
mutex_lock_all()/mutex_unlock_all() should be used together.

Commit - fa9150a84c - replaces a call to generic_writepages() in
f2fs_write_data_pages() with write_cache_pages(), with a function pointer
argument pointing to routine: __f2fs_writepage.
-> https://git.kernel.org/linus/fa9150a84ca333f68127097c4fa1eda4b3913a22
This patch adds a NULL pointer check in f2fs_write_data_pages() to avoid
a possible NULL pointer dereference, in case if - mapping->a_ops->writepage -
is NULL.

This patch removes data_version check flow during the fsync call.
The original purpose for the use of data_version was to avoid writng inode
pages redundantly by the fsync calls repeatedly.
However, when user can modify file meta and then call fsync, we should not
skip fsync procedure.
So, let's remove this condition check and hope that user triggers in right
manner.

This patch reduces redundant locking and unlocking pages during read operations.
In f2fs_readpage, let's use wait_on_page_locked() instead of lock_page.
And then, when we need to modify any data finally, let's lock the page so that
we can avoid lock contention.
[readpage rule]
- The f2fs_readpage returns unlocked page, or released page too in error cases.
- Its caller should handle read error, -EIO, after locking the page, which
indicates read completion.
- Its caller should check PageUptodate after grab_cache_page.

Previously, f2fs reads several node pages ahead when get_dnode_of_data is called
with RDONLY_NODE flag.
And, this flag is set by the following functions.
- get_data_block_ro
- get_lock_data_page
- do_write_data_page
- truncate_blocks
- truncate_hole
However, this readahead mechanism is initially introduced for the use of
get_data_block_ro to enhance the sequential read performance.
So, let's clarify all the cases with the additional modes as follows.
enum {
ALLOC_NODE, /* allocate a new node page if needed */
LOOKUP_NODE, /* look up a node without readahead */
LOOKUP_NODE_RA, /*
* look up a node with readahead called
* by get_datablock_ro.
*/
}

Let's consider the usage of blk_plug in f2fs_write_data_pages().
We can come up with the two issues: lock contention and task awareness.
1. Merging bios prior to grabing "queue lock"
The f2fs merges consecutive IOs in the file system level before
submitting any bios, which is similar with the back merge by the
plugging mechanism in attempt_plug_merge(). Both of them need to acquire
no queue lock.
2. Merging policy with respect to tasks
The f2fs merges IOs as much as possible regardless of tasks, while
blk-plugging is conducted on a basis of tasks. As we can understand
there are trade-offs, f2fs tries to maximize the write performance with
well-merged bios.
As a result, if f2fs produces many consecutive but separated bios in
writepages(), it would be good to use blk-plugging since f2fs would be
able to avoid queue lock contention in the block layer by merging them.
But, f2fs merges IOs and submit one bio, which means that there are not
much chances to merge bios by attempt_plug_merge().
However, f2fs has already been used blk_plug by triggering generic_writepages()
in f2fs_write_data_pages().
So to make the overall code consistency, I'd like to remove blk_plug there.

Do cleanup more for better code readability.
- Change the parameter set of f2fs_bio_alloc()
This function should allocate a bio only since it is not something like
f2fs_bio_init(). Instead, the caller should initialize the allocated bio.
- Introduce SECTOR_FROM_BLOCK
This macro translates a block address to its sector address.

This patch should resolve the bugs reported by the sparse tool.
Initial reports were written by "kbuild test robot" managed by fengguang.wu.
In my local machines, I've tested also by running:
> make C=2 CF="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__"
Accordingly, I've found lots of warnings and bugs related to the endian
conversion. And I've fixed all at this moment.
